Welcome to Aotearoa (in advance). Will you be riding the Sounds2Sounds around the same time as the official brevet, starting in Picton in early March? If so, you will appreciate the Trail Angels who offer support to riders (camping, hot drinks, showers etc) along the way to Milford Sound.

especially being a father to a son I very much love. I’ll pray for daily.”
On our trips have been able to find a hotel willing to store the bike boxes until our return flight home out of the same airport. Our most recent trip was through Zurich where we booked a hotel near the airport.

5 months agoAgreed, that will happen as well.

It sounds like all went very well, that's great. We found that riding on the left was quite easy to get used to, there was always a little hesitation at the left turns (now which lane should we be in?) but it doesn't take long to adjust.
